Evolution from magmatic to hydrothermal activity beneath the Cerro Escorial volcano (NW Argentina) as sampled by erupted quartz and brines
Lithos(2020)
摘要
Large quartz pebbles erupted with the Escorial ignimbrite provide insight into the late-magmatic evolution of the shallow, cooling magmatic-hydrothermal system below the Cerro Escorial volcano of the Southern Central Volcanic Zone in the Argentine Andes. The ignimbrite is of relatively small volume, crystal-rich, dacitic in composition, and not particularly water-rich, as amphibole is absent. Eruption temperature was estimated to be close to 850 °C. The quartz pebbles provide insight into the magmatic-hydrothermal transition beneath the volcano. Based on textures, trace element composition (analyzed by laser-ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry), and inclusion content, the pebbles can be separated into pegmatite-like megacrysts and lower-temperature, epithermal microcrystalline quartz. Both types are distinct from magmatic phenocrysts present in porphyritic clasts ejected by the ignimbrite.
